In late June, ASUS and Taiwanese celebrity Jay Chou announced the new N-series laptop, N43SL, which claims to incorporate the latest second generation Intel processor as well as SonicMaster audio technology to offer superb multimedia performance for the users. VR-Zone managed to get our hands on the special edition notebook PC and see how "incredible" it is.

Celebrity-endorsed products aren't new; like the Monster Heartbeats by Lady Gaga headphones, Korean girl group SSND (also known as Girls' Generation) for Intel processor, and Ken Watanabe for Canon cameras etc. And it isn't surprising when ASUS and popular Taiwanese celebrity, Jay Chou, jointly launched the ASUS N43SL Jay Chou special edition laptop in late June this year. Well, the interesting thing about the collaboration is that it is unlike other celebrity-endorsed products whereby (we assumed) you just need to have the celebrity put his or her name on the product and pose with it in the advertisements.
